He'd be on top rate PIP, full benefits and a council house no?

You would think so. There's almost always extra steps between a normal life and homelessness than folk admit to. As he's been keen to point out it's not drink or drugs, so must be something else. I don't believe I live in a city in which you can go from a normal life to living on the streets hoping for £18 for a hostel all because you were attacked in a bar. No chance.

[Shteve]

No chance, he's got himself into that in some way.

[Mr A]

Could be that he doesn't know what benefits he was entitled to.

But there's a lengthy process to getting evicted from any flat and a multitude of free advice out there with CAB et.

Definitely more to this than we're told in a one paragraph facey post (unsurprisingly).

[PHOODLE-OUt]

If you are to become homeless you go to the council and they put you in temporary accommodation until a council gaff is available. Or you go to a housing association and they put you up. That's what I did, piece of piss.

[Zizou]

If there is no housing available at the time you stop paying your rent/mortgage and you have no friends or family who can help, I can see how you get to that stage. It would take a fair bit of bad luck though.

Once you are evicted from your house, things like the internet and mobile phones get harder to obtain and use.

Gig economy at play.

[Drederick Shanktum]

Loads of comments saying he's a junkie

[Chrambo]

Hopefully he rots then

[Shteve]

Some of the comments quite funny how easily folk are sucked into that pish, so glad I'm a cynical cunt.

[Shteve]

What's the most annoying household chore for people? I'm not a fan of doing the dishes but I'm good at just doing them regulary, don't really iron anything unless i really need to, hoovering can be left until such time i can be arsed.

For me the thing i hate most is changing bed sheets, don't know why but i always know I'm going to get raging with it before i start, just an absolute faff and a massive pain in the arse.

Who doesn't have a dishwasher in 2016?

[PHOODLE-OUt]

Would have to ask the wife

[Big Physical Acey]

Bursd cooks, I do the dishes. Fairly happy with that arrangement tbh.

Can never be arsed hoovering.

Who doesn't have a dishwasher in 2016?

Me, don't know where I'd get a dishwasher in here tbh. I didn't even have a tumble dryer when i moved in, had to use a clothes horse  

[Roger H. Sterling]

Don't have a dishwasher or a tumble dryer

[Charlie Kelly]

Don't have a dishwasher or a tumble dryer  

Same here, not having a tumble dryer doesn't bother me but would love a dishwasher. No room for one in my kitchen either

[Big Physical Acey]

Don't have either.

Having a tumble drier would mean more to me than Hearts' Scottish Cup wins combined.
